Pleuroceridae, common name pleurocerids, is a family of small to medium-sized freshwater snails, aquatic gilled gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Cerithioidea.These snails have an operculum and typically a robust high-spired shell.
Reproduction is iteroparous, and juvenile snails emerge from eggs laid on a firm surface by a gonochoristic female. There is no veliger stage.
Distribution
As currently defined, this family is confined entirely to eastern North American fresh waters. Similar snails formerly classified with Pleuroceridae, but now assigned to other families are widespread in temperate and tropical parts of Southern and Eastern Asia,[citation needed] and Africa.[citation needed] Most require unpolluted rivers and streams, but a few are adapted to living in lakes or reservoirs.
Taxonomy
2005 taxonomy
The following two subfamilies have been recognized in the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005):[3]
- Pleurocerinae P. Fischer, 1885 - synonyms: Ceriphasiinae Gill, 1863; Strepomatidae Haldeman, 1864; Ellipstomatidae Hannibal, 1912; Gyrotominae Hannibal, 1912; Anaplocamidae Dall, 1921
- Semisulcospirinae Morrison, 1952 - synonym: Jugidae Starobogatov, Prozorova, Bogatov & Sayenko, 2004 (n.a.)
2009 taxonomy
Subfamily Semisulcospirinae within Pleuroceridae was elevated to family level Semisulcospiridae by Strong & Köhler (2009).[4]
Genera
Genera within the family Pleuroceridae are organized in the one subfamily only since 2009 and they include:
Pleurocerinae
- Pleurocera Rafinesque, 1818 - type genus of the family Pleuroceridae,[3]
- Elimia H. Adams & A. Adams, 1854 synonyms:Goniobasis Lea, 1862
- Athearnia Morrison, 1971
- † Gyrotoma Shuttleworth, 1845
- Io Lea, 1831 - with the only species Io fluvialis (Say, 1825)
- Leptoxis Rafinesque, 1819
- Lithasia Haldeman, 1840
